As promised, Xiao Xianrou, will you play the suona in the haunted house?

Chapter 156 Life on the crew, establishing prestige, filming, and finishing

"Crack!"

"Six shots in 23 scenes, passed!"

The crew of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".

This scene that had tortured everyone for nearly six days was finally over, and the entire crew breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you for your hard work. Let's take a 10-minute break before taking another shot."

Guo Fan came over and distributed water to everyone diligently.

Although he is the director in name only, within the crew, Yang Sisi, the investor and producer, is more effective than him on weekends.

After all, one is giving money and the other is the author of the original work.

In addition, Guo Fan is a new director, and some veterans who have been hanging out with the crew for many years sometimes don't show much respect to him, so he can only try to keep his profile as low as possible, like a nanny.

"Master Chen, there is an action scene next. I know you have quite a lot of experience in this area, so I definitely don't need to say anything more, but there are a few things I want to tell you..."

Guo Fan took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and gave it to the martial arts director Chen Dongwei. He said with a smile: "My idea is that the action requirements of this scene should be realistic and practical, and not too fancy."

Martial Arts Director Chen Dongwei blew out a smoke ring and said impatiently: "I know how to do it. You go outside and ask around. Which of the people I, Chen Dongwei, bring out are not genuine?"

"That's right, that's right, I'm just reminding you, don't think too much about it."

Guo Fan laughed awkwardly. He had invited Chen Dongwei to visit him personally, so he didn't dare to offend him too much.

"The younger generation will also teach me how to do things?"

Looking at Guo Fan's back as he walked away, Chen Dongwei sneered at the apprentice next to him with a disdainful expression.

"He is a new director, so he may not be sure. Master, when you were the martial arts instructor, he was probably still wearing crotchless pants."

"Newbies are just newbies, they don't know any etiquette."

"That's right, the last crew at least knew how to give a red envelope before filming started."

Chen Dongwei is an old man who has been in the crew for many years. His apprentices have not learned much about other skills, but they have learned all about the shortcomings of being too ambitious and too weak.

These people gathered around Chen Dongwei, chewing their tongues.

When I was passing by on the weekend, I happened to be listening. I glanced here without changing my expression and didn't say anything more.

"Every department is in its place."

"24 scenes per shot, ready to start shooting."

The 10-minute break passed quickly, and Guo Fan picked up the speaker and organized various departments.

"Camera No. [-] is in place."

"Camera No. [-] is in place."

"The recording is in place."

After all departments were in place, the main actors also returned to their designated places.

"One shot in 24 scenes."

"start!"

Snapped.

When the recorder's clacking sound fell, the actors each entered into the filming state.

This fight scene is the conflict between the golden trio and the villain in the underground palace. It is also one of the most exciting scenes in the whole drama, and its importance goes without saying.

In terms of literature and drama, the performance of several main actors is pretty good, and they can basically pass it by one line.

But when it came time to shoot the action scene, Guo Fan shouted "Ka" several times in a row.

What he wants is to show the realism of striking as hard as possible, with relatively high requirements on movements, and if possible, he can use auxiliary tools as much as possible.

As a result, the pressure on several action actors was relatively high. They were stopped several times by Guo Fan, and their tempers suddenly rose.

"Crack."

Guo Fan stopped again, then ran over in person and said to several action actors: "The action just now was still a bit fancy, and it would give people a soft feeling on the screen. The stronger the impact..."

"No more filming. Do you know how to do action scenes? This won't work, and that won't work either. Why don't you just find a professional fighter?"

"You can stand and talk without back pain. Do you know how many martial arts actors can do the moves you mentioned?"

"That is, if you can find one person in the entire crew who can fulfill your request, I will twist off his head and play it as a ball for you."

These action actors were stopped several times in a row, and their tempers grew. In addition, they were already dissatisfied with Guo Fan, and they immediately started to argue with him.

Guo Fan blushed for a while after being pushed. He was indeed not very good at action scenes, and his weak spot was poked at, so he had to look at martial arts director Chen Dongwei for help.

"Xiao Guo, I'm not telling you. The actions you requested are indeed a bit difficult to achieve. They are action actors, but they are not supermen."

Chen Dongwei took a puff of cigarette, put on the posture of a senior, and actually taught Guo Fan a lesson: "If you don't believe it, just find someone from the crew who can do the actions you asked, and I will apologize to you." , I’ll let you decide how to shoot in the future, how about it?”

Guo Fan was choked on the spot, but where could he find such a person?

If everyone can do fighting scenes, why do we need your martial arts team?
At this time, Weekend came over and patted Guo Fan on the shoulder, winking at him.

"Director Chen, please calm down. Everyone is trying to make the shooting better, and there is nothing wrong with it."

Weekend smiled and said something to Guo Fan, and then said: "He may not have considered the actual shooting situation, but since we are actors, we should try our best to overcome difficulties at work, right?"

"Since we have received this salary, we must try our best to meet the shooting requirements during filming, don't you think so... Otherwise, if word gets out, it will also discredit you in the circle, right?"

"I think this is good. Let's shoot again. If we still can't get the desired effect, then we will think about it again and modify the shooting plan. What do you think?"

Chen Dongwei glanced at the weekend and nodded with an unsightly expression.

He doesn't have to sell Guo Fan's reputation as a director, but he is both a producer and an investor on weekends.

Among the remuneration for filming, in addition to the salary in the contract, there is also a bonus outside the contract. Whether it is more or less, the second investor of the weekend can have a say.

Therefore, Chen Dongwei had to give him this face. He had no choice but to nod his head and reprimanded several apprentices: "You heard me, cheer up and take pictures well."

Guo Fan glanced at Zhou Xing gratefully. If Zhou Xing hadn't come forward to help him out, he would have lost face as a director today.

"Thank you for your hard work, let's shoot it again."

When Guo Fan was about to go back and start filming again, weekend suddenly came to the action actors just now.

"Wait a minute, you were the one who said that ordinary people can't do those moves, right?"

On the weekend, he was not so polite to Chen Dongwei's apprentice. His condescending tone suppressed his aura.

"It's a bit difficult!"

Chen Dongwei, the apprentice, is actually 1.8 meters tall, and his muscles are quite good due to years of exercise. But for some reason, when he was stared at by Zhou Zhou, his aura was automatically reduced.

"Really, I don't think it's that difficult... Just stand there and don't move, and I'll show you."

Weekend said coldly, asking the other party to stand where he was and not move.

Then, the weekend suddenly moved in the next second. He suddenly jumped up in the air and kicked out with a side kick.Chen Dongwei, the apprentice, was shocked. He obviously didn't expect that weekend's movements were so fast. He only had time to temporarily protect his vital parts with his hands, and then he felt a strong force that knocked him away.

boom.

In the eyes of other people in the crew, they only saw that the weekend did not even warm up, but just kicked the professional action actor away.

"Nama, where are you playing football?"

Lei Jiayin's eyes widened even more, looking in disbelief at the relaxed look on his face.

One hundred, forty or fifty people were kicked two meters away by the weekend. This is so damn cool.

"Old horse, are you alright!"

Several other disciples of Chen Dongwei quickly ran over and helped the person up.

"Ahem... I'm fine..."

The man stood up with the help of everyone, his face was as painful as pig liver.

At this time, he no longer had any of the domineering arrogance he had before, but looked in the direction of the weekend with a look of horror and awe.

Looking at the relaxed look on his face, he immediately understood that he still had some energy left during the weekend. If he was really serious, this kick would probably keep him in bed for at least half a month.

"It's okay. Can we shoot now?"

At this time of the weekend, I also came over, helped dust this person, and looked at everyone with a smile.

"I can... I can shoot!"

After Chen Dongwei and his disciples witnessed this scene with their own eyes, their eyes looked different when they looked at the weekend.

"That's good, director, get ready to start shooting."

After hearing the satisfactory answer on the weekend, he immediately smiled at everyone with a smile on his face, and then shouted to Guo Fan in the distance.

Guo Fan felt so relieved that he spit out all his bad breath.

"Every department is in its place."

"Twenty-four scenes, two shots and seven shots, ready to start shooting."

Soon, all departments returned to their workstations and faced this shooting with great energy.

After half an hour.

"Crack!"

"Okay, perfect."

"Two shots in 24 scenes, passed!"

Looking at the effect displayed on the monitor, it almost completely met his requirements. It was countless times better than the previous shots. Guo Fan also breathed a sigh of relief.

After the most difficult fight scene was filmed, there were basically no major problems in the remaining scenes.

As soon as Guo Fan called it a day, he took advantage of the weekend break to find Chen Dongwei and spend some time alone.

"Director Chen, you have worked hard today."

"Haha, what's the hard work? Aren't we action actors just working hard!"

Chen Dongwei's face was ashen and he snorted angrily.

That move before the weekend was clearly done to show him, just to establish authority in front of him. It would be strange if he had a good attitude.

"Director Chen, no matter what, you have a share of credit for the smooth passage of today's scene... This is a little bit of the crew's gratitude."

Weekend didn't mind Chen Dongwei's attitude. Instead, he took out a red envelope from his pocket and stuffed it into Chen Dongwei's hand without any explanation.

"what do you mean?"

Chen Dongwei weighed the weight of the red envelope and his expression became a little better, but he still deliberately looked at the weekend pretending to be confused.

"Director Chen, you also know that Guo Fan is a newcomer and some of the rules in the crew are not very clear. This is my personal courtesy on behalf of the crew."

After explaining the red envelope over the weekend, he continued to say with a smile: "Director Chen, you should also know that our crew has invested tens of millions in the past two months of filming. Anyway, we Everyone wants to see the final result to be satisfying.”

"You are an experienced actor, and you should also know that if the actor does not cooperate with the director, it will have a great impact on the filming. If you are really upset because of what happened today, I think there is no need to cooperate in the next scenes. ”

"Of course, I don't mean to drive you away. I just hope that the next filming will go more smoothly... Please think about it."

Swish.

Chen Dongwei's face suddenly panicked. If he left like this, his reputation in the industry would be ruined in the future, and it would not be so easy to take on roles again.

He never expected that Zhou Zhen might look young, but he was so experienced in doing things, and there was no trace of his kindness and power.

"Director Chen, how are you thinking? If you still insist on leaving, I will be ready to find someone else now!"

Although Zhou Zhen said he wanted Chen Dongwei to think about it, he actually didn't give the other party any time to think about it. He had already taken out the phone in his hand and was about to call someone else.

"Who do you think I, Chen Dongwei, am? Since I'm paid, I won't do such half-measures."

The circle of the crew is only so big. Even if they don't talk about it over the weekend, the matter will be spread out sooner or later. As long as he wants to continue to hang out in this circle, he must worry about his reputation.

"What about future filming?"

After hearing Chen Dongwei's words over the weekend, the smile on his face became even deeper.

"I will restrain my people and ask them to do their best to cooperate with the director's filming."

Chen Dongwei glanced at the weekend and said softly.

"That's good. In fact, I'm also worried. If we look for someone again, it will be difficult to find someone as professional as you."

Weekend smiled with satisfaction and patted Chen Dongwei's ass gently but not seriously.

After solving Chen Dongwei's problem, he had people prepare good wine and food to entertain Chen Dongwei's apprentices at night on weekends.

At the dinner table, Weekend acted without any airs, telling the dirty jokes that these people liked to hear the most. He was also extremely happy when drinking, and took the initiative to toast everyone.

After a drink, he even became close friends with disciples like Chen Dongwei, arm in arm, and Chen Dongwei next to him felt extremely awe-inspiring.

At the same time, he was still a little scared. Judging from the sophistication of his weekend behavior, he was no worse than any ruthless character. It is best to treat such people as friends. If they become enemies, he will probably suffer in the end.

Not far away, Yang Sisi had already finished eating, but did not walk away. Instead, she looked worriedly at the weekend eating and drinking with this group of people.

"Go and have someone cook some stomach-warming soup and bring it to Producer Zhou's room."

Yang Sisi gave instructions to the assistant beside her, glared at Zhou Zhou complainingly, and then turned around and left.

After this incident, the filming progress of the crew became smoother and smoother. The remaining filming originally took another month, but in the end it only took half a month to complete.

"Crack."

"I declare that "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" has been completed."

As Guo Fan shouted one last time with great excitement, the entire crew burst into cheers.
